Abstract
The beginnings of the early modern Catholic dispute over grace witnessed a conflict between the Jesuits, champions of Molinist theses, and the Dominicans, the official champions of Thomist doctrines. The Jansenists tried to find a third way between the two tendencies by returning to a supposedly authentic Augustinianism. In order to avoid condemnation by the Roman magisterium, Jansen’s disciplies tried after 1653 to move towards Thomism, which was considered solidly orthodox. This article tries to show the persistance in the age of the ‘case of conscience’ (1702-1706) of a tactic that was destined to fail but which was reprised by Jacques Fouillou (1670-1736).
